Prompt engineering was step one.
Workflow engineering is step two.
Why Prompts Aren’t Enough
A single prompt can generate:
- text
But real use cases need:
text + image + structure
multiple steps
iteration
Example
You want a post:
Generate caption
Generate image
Generate hashtags
Combine
That’s not a prompt.
That’s a workflow.
The New Skill
Designing how AI tasks connect—not just what they say.
Where This Is Going
Tools will evolve from:
- prompt boxes
To:
- workflow engines
Start thinking in flows, not prompts.
That’s where the leverage is.
